It pings out to google constantly regardless of where you are. You should be able remove it with adb, or use an app like NetGuard to block it from acessing the internet.
NetGuard is how I discovered it even existed haha
So for me, it shows up in my settings but netguard does not show it. Did i do something wrong setting up netguard?
Also, does anyone know if my carrier will get mad if i remove it? I do technically owe money on my phone (they give me a credit each month so i dont have to pay it)
🤔
There's a setting to enable showing system apps in NetGuard.
Thanks! I missed the settings somehow.
